Moonlight Whispers

In the moonlight we find our destined dance
Resting in the winds of two lover's chance
Breezes of sensuous nature soon to take hold
As this true friendship's story begins to unfold

A walk in the innocense of midnight's chime
A whisper sent through the bluegrass of time
Time over eternity will be set to our own pace
Until the time we are able to dance face to face

Two hands entwined in the light of Autumn's moon
Cupping the tender moments of winter to come soon
Tingles of sensations find fingertips in passionate haste
Two hearts finding love within the lips of tender taste

Rush not where tiptoe's silence is much better spent
Seek not the meaning of what is surely heaven sent
Hair flowing in the breezes of this chill kissed night
As warmth is found in the eyes of true love's might

It is beautiful, Mark. It has a delicate, almost hushed sense of togetherness, of discovery.  

"Rush not where tiptoe's silence is much better spent
Seek not the meaning of what is surely heaven sent" ~~ I find these lines especially lovely.

Thank you for sharing this one here...I'm sure everyone will love it as much as I do.

Wow, Mark!  You've done it YET again.  But, am I surprised?  Not in the least.
Absolutely beautiful write, my friend, and now it's in competition for my favorite!!

Mark, a break has done wonders for you and your work ... not that either needed help. Each time I read your work I think this is the best, then along comes the next one.
I couldn't pick fav lines as they paint such lovely pictures in my mind's eye. Well done, once again.
To quote SEA "sigh".

I wish you every happiness and pray you'll always have the best of the good things in life. a brand

Love it - and you, sweet man.

Thank you all so very much.  I am sorry to do one group reply and you all know that I very seldom do that, but my computer time is so limited right now.  I will always try to spred my replies around as much as possible until I get back in force and I do thank you all so very much for your continued support of me in my lack of time here in Passions.  This one was inspired as a sequel to one that I was very much inspired by and I do really appreciate all the individual comments to it.  I am in awe as to some of the responses to it, and I promise to always try to excel in my poetry and you all are very good reasons to do so.  Once again, many many thanks to you all.

Mark my friend had to come back to this, I could do with some beautiful images tonight, and this is ideal. I've actually printed this out and it's on our message board, and it's beautiful it truly is. Except that of course the printed image doesn't move, it's perfect. Maybe having it directly in front of Daphnie will stop her hogging an extra screen, but I doubt it. This is a stunning piece it really is. Love it loads.
Take care
